US and its allies call on Russia to reduce tensions with Ukraine while Washington says it's prepared 'to act resolutely' if Moscow continues military aggression on Kiev
Leaders of France, Germany, Italy, UK and US express"determination" during a phone call that Ukraine's sovereignty should be respected.
A spokesperson for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday said the prime minister spoke to US President Joe Biden, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel evening about Ukraine. Earlier, Ned Price, a US State Department spokesperson said if Russia chooses to aggress militarily upon Ukraine "we and our allies would be prepared to act, we would be prepared to act resolutely."Ukrainian and Western officials are worried that the Russian military concentration near the border with Ukraine could herald plans by the Kremlin to attack its neighbour, a concern that is expected to dominate a call on Tuesday between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden.
The conflict with Russia-backed rebels in Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland erupted weeks after Moscow’s 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. The fighting has killed more than 14,000 people, and efforts to negotiate a settlement have stalled.
